Sarah’s mastery of medical writing shines in her Medical Writing Career Kickstarter course. In a series of video recordings and written resources, she concisely and clearly presents the information you need to confidently approach the medical writing test. Included in these resources is a practice writing exam, which gives you the opportunity to put what you have learned into practice. Sarah’s feedback on my practice exam gave me a fresh look on my writing style and alerted me to places for improvement. That one exercise provided me with invaluable insight that I will use throughout my career. What I love most about this course is that it goes beyond the writing test. I find myself learning something new every time I revisit the videos. As a student who has to manage expenses carefully, I really appreciate the exceptional quality of this course at an affordable price. Thank you so much for taking the mystery out of the medical writing test, Sarah!

I enjoyed this course. It opened my eyes, and I realized how much I didn't know about medical writing. Completing the assignment gave me a good sense of accomplishment, and Sarah's generous guidance helped me feel more confident about my skill set. If you are a novice medical writer, taking this course will leave you feeling that you actually have learnt something.

Sarah's Accountability group was excellent. She gave us great direction in how to prepare for getting work in med comms, and the fortnightly Zoom meetings required some accountability in getting those preparations done. She's an experienced hand in the industry, so that gave me the confidence she knew what she was talking about and this wasn't just another "coaching" program with big promises. In fact, she kept expectations realistic, and helped us work within the limitations of other obligations in our lives. I highly recommend the programme. Matthew

Sarah was very thorough, and I learnt a lot through this course. I am definitely more confident in managing a medical writing project from start to finish now! :)

This is a great course in which Sarah has distilled down and shared her years of experience in medical writing. I guarantee that everyone will come away from the course with new ways of planning and thinking about a project, as well as new methods and techniques they can implement in their own writing. The course is a great mix of Sarah sharing her advice and ways of working, alongside set assignments where you get to practice implementing the skills you've learned. Sarah also provides feedback and support along the way to ensure you leave the course feeling more confident in your planning, researching, and writing abilities. Thanks, Sarah!

I highly recommend Sarah Nelson's "Foundations of Excellence: The 5 Pillars of Medical Writing '' for anyone looking to transition to medical communications. I have found it invaluable as an experienced Research Programme Manager working in the non-profit sector seeking to refocus my career to roles with more of a focus in writing and communications. The course helped me compile and enhance my existing knowledge and skills and has given me the confidence to apply them in a more structured and efficient manner. I believe it would be also invaluable for a PhD graduate looking to transition out of academia into industry. Similarly for a medical doctor/nurse/pharmacist seeking to move out of clinical work.

Sarah's course is the perfect way to lift the lid on writing in med comms, and to learn all about best practices and methods in the process. The course was great because it offered hands-on learning to deliver a range of typical medical communications deliverables. My favourite part was the very useful guidance on how best to do background reading and preparation for a project without going down the research rabbit hole. Highly recommended course and an excellent tutor with all the right knowledge and experience to guide you.

As the name suggests, this course helps fill the knowledge gaps novice medical writers may have. It covers everything from tips on technical writing techniques and how to use language effectively to convey your message without falling into the trap of over-generalisation or stating incorrect facts. It also teaches storytelling techniques, which I found especially useful. The course gives you many tips on how to make presentation slides look professional and how phase 3 trials should be evaluated. I loved this course and found it invaluable. After finishing the course, I felt I knew more about medical writing techniques than when I started. It is unsurprising since the course was created by one of the best medical writing instructors. So, if you are unsure whether to do this course, I wholeheartedly recommend that you do.

Sarah's Agency Ready 12-week Coaching Group course is excellent for beginners in medical writing as offers all the necessary resources and inspiration. It is not an intensive course that will do everything for you. It will make you brainstorm and gently energize you to move things forward even during your busy schedule. I am thankful for all the clarifications, open questions, and confidence I have gained.

Sarah will guide you through various contents, such as organising a paper, absorbing a style guide, or familiarizing yourself with the main types of agencies. She aims to help you trigger optimal self-motivation, self-assessment, and growth. The components of medical writing are split into increasingly complex yet digestible chunks over twelve weeks to allow specific questions to arise. Swift feedback is provided, and the arena is set for you to speak up. So, make the most of this opportunity and seize the day!
